I can get most of the parts at cost shipped to me if they are provided a list. I have a mechanic in the family that can help put this together. How can anyone say it's going to be more expensive if 1) no one has done it 2) no one knows exactly what parts are involved. I am sure it would be really expensive if you took it to the local bend-me-over shop and asked for the "funny" conversion with parts and labor. That's why I asked and that's what the purpose of the list was because I had already seen in the searches the typical "why didn't you get the manual in the first place?", "it costs too much", "sell car, buy manual car". The donor car has always been a good idea though. Oh well, add this thread to the list.
